Angels, from the Realms of Glory

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 768 hymnals Topics: Church Festivals Christmas Lyrics: 1 Angels, from the realms of glory, Wing your flight o'er all the earth; Ye who sang creation's story, Now proclaim Messiah's birth; Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King. 2 Shepherds, in the field abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night, God with man is now residing; Yonder shines the Infant Light; Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King. 3 Saints, before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear, Suddenly the Lord, descending, In His temple shall appear; Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King.

A-men. 3 O then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore, What knitting severed friendships up, Where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of thine elect, Then take thy power and reign; Appear, Desire of Nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heavens thy promised sign, Thou Prince and Saviour, come!
